Broadening undergraduate exposure to microelectronics

The undergraduate curriculum only scratches the surface of microelectronics. In the research lab, we are filling this gap by exposing students to CMOS integrated circuits through applications and testing. When students use integrated circuits for measurements, we develop an understanding of the circuit architecture and the performance specifications that the design may have. We are also seeking collaborations with research groups that design and fabricate custom integrated circuits (particularly chips for sensing). Our group can contribute by developing unique applications or through circuit tests.
